STRSQL has limited prompting support. A CREATE FUNCTION can literally
span thousands of characters. They've given up trying to prompt that.
Compare a function to an entire subprocedure in RPGLE. Including input
parameters, calculations and the return parameters. While a wizard (think
iNav's run sql scripts or WDSC's subprocedure template) would be nice a
simple command prompt isn't going to work. You need some education, some
samples, some manuals, something.
